It is important to know

This cordless router is primarily intended for users who already use tools from the Power For All Alliance system or are looking for a handheld router without the constraints of a cord. It is perfectly suited to tasks where precision and mobility are key advantages, but it is also important to know where its design without a battery in the kit limits it. When choosing, pay attention to whether you already have a suitable, compatible battery and assess whether its performance is suitable for you based on the complexity of the planned projects.

• The kit does not include a battery and charger, which can be a hindrance if you are not already in the Power For All Alliance system – check compatibility before purchasing.
• Cordless means it's significantly easier to use in the field or in the workshop, but for larger projects, consider additional batteries for continuous work.
• It works best for edge and detail work in softer to medium-hard woods; for long-term or very demanding jobs in harder woods, it may be limited by autonomy and power.
• The compact and lightweight design makes it easier to guide the tool precisely, especially for more delicate DIY projects and renovations of semi-finished surfaces.
